Thank you for your request to the Ministry of Business, Innovation and
Employment (MBIE) requesting, under the Official Information Act 1982 (the
Act), the following:

 

I please request the updated list of Accredited Employers under the
Accredited Employer Work Visa scheme as of 23 May 2025. I would like to
receive it as a Data Sheet if possible, with the columns: Company name,
Sector, Sub sector, Expity date of accreditation, and Address.

Our Response

 

Please refer to the attached appendix for the employers accredited under
the Accredited Employer Work Visa (AEWV) scheme, as at 2 June 2025.  We
are refusing the part of your request related to contact details under
section 18(d) of the Act as this information is publicly available.

 

More information on Accredited Employers is publicly available on the
Immigration New Zealand website at the following link:

Please note:

 

o Accredited Employers can choose not to have their accreditation
information on our website, therefore our website may not show all
accredited employers.
o In order for an employer to employ a migrant worker under the AEWV
scheme, employers must first be granted, advertise the role for New
Zealand citizens or residents to apply, and then be granted a Job
Check. Once these steps have been successfully completed to
Immigration New Zealand’s satisfaction they can then invite migrants
to apply for work visas under the AEWV scheme. The required experience
and qualifications for the job employers offer must match the approved
Job Check.

 

More information on the AEWV process can be found here:

You have the right to seek an investigation and review by the Ombudsman of
this decision. Information about how to make a complaint is available at
[3]www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or freephone 0800 802 602.

 

If you wish to discuss any aspect of your request or this response, please
contact [4][email address].
